Sapience,

Due to a recent Request that cannot be ignored, I will state a couple of regrets I have cultivated that demand personal acknowledgement. Specifically, with the Seat as of late. I will clarify this once, that this is not a means of reconciliation, simply a due I must pay. I will itemize my list, now:

I regret my absence during this tumultuous time in the Seat. It is painful to watch a place that you have placed so much energy into fall apart while you are helpless to watch. I never attempted to pay a fine, nor combat my charges with the Archonate nor Chaos Court, and the consequence for this is knowing that there were perhaps more moves at play than were available to others in the Seat at that time.

Another mistake was both speech, yet also a lack of speech. I should have spoken out more, the proper way. In a time of jest, I was outspoken, while in a time of crisis, I was silent. This is against my nature, and because of that, it is a regret and the consequence is knowing that perhaps I could have inspired or reinvigorated those who I called allies, and I didn't.

Ultimately, I do have many different actions, yet mostly actions that I haven't taken, that demand regret, and consequence. I would list them all, however I am not arrogant enough to think that everyone in sapience is interested in my actions and the regrets grown from them. The lessons that may be learned from my regret is thoughtful action and discourse through a given organization offers choices that are otherwise unavailable, and failing to conduct oneself thoughtfully eliminates these choices.

I write this for One, replies will be ignored.
